Defender does not start

• My Defender does not start after the Norton removal, manual or automatic, code of error 0x800106ba

  I get error 0x800106ba when you try to start Defender, I tried to start it manually and that flags upward. I just uninstalled Norton product and not forget to check and see if my security essential work and they are, but Defender does not start? I have tried manually and automatic, have restarted the computer and searched forums and does not start again.

  Thank you

  Try the Norton Removal Tool: https://www-secure.symantec.com/norton-support/jsp/help-solutions.jsp?lg=english&ct=united+states&docid=20080710133834EN&product=home&version=1&pvid=f-home

  You still have remnants of Norton that interfere with the Defender (Norton disabled Windows Defender when you installed since Norton protects against the many forms of malware and Norton and the Defender provide real-time protection;) MSE and several other programs also cannot run at the same time as Windows Defender AV).

  You mentioned Security Essentials?  Do you have also installed Microsoft Security Essentials?

  You should never have more than one security product installed on the PC, providing active protection / scan. This can cause performance problems, system instability and conflicts between programs and can affect all installed antivirus product efficiency.

  You will still need another program AV because Windows Defender offers protection against spyware.  Avast, AVG, Avira, and MSE are the "big four" that provide no protection, and there are several very good '' for' anti-malware programs.  You can find the following links to be interesting to read:

• Windows Defender: I think that I accidentally turned off Windows Defender by using Windows Defender. Now, Windows Defender does not start

  I think I accidentally turned off Windows Defender by using Windows Defender.  Now, Windows Defender does not start.  How can I get this start?

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/turn-Windows-Defender-on-or-off

  Turn Windows Defender on or off the information on the link above of Microsoft.

  And also read this:

  If you have Microsoft Security Essentials, AVG, McAfee, Norton, etc. installed, they have a conflict with Windows Defender, or turn it off.

  Microsoft Security Essentials has its own integrated version of the defender and it automatically disables the version of Vista in Windows Defender.

  See you soon.

• Windows Defender does not start... have webroot

  I get the window to the windows defender, but I think webroot won't start... I would like to have the defender of windows as a back up but cannot get it to start...

  Hi DBrosius,

  These two are spyware software products (except if you have the version of Webroot AV).  Many programs closed AV Defender since running both at the same time can cause conflicts, freezes, crashes and other problems and also to prevent each product to perform as well as he can and that instead of increasing the protection you are actually decreases the protection.  This would happen with MSE, Norton, McAfee, Avast, Avira, AVG and many others.  Check with the technical support of Webroot to see if their product (whatever one you bought) also turns off defender.  If so, you should not try to replace and run Defender in any case or you will get into trouble at some point.

  If you have the version which only works for spyware, then you understand that neither product you defends against viruses, worms, Trojans and many other forms of malicious software out there and need to install an AV like MSE ASAP program if you have not already another such program (and if so (, it may be this program that blocks the Defender and not Webroot).

  In short, if you install MSE you complete protection and it will be disabled Defender and Webroot will be either redundant or, if it is running in real time or is a product of the VA, will have to be uninstalled as using the appropriate to clear leftover removal tool may leave behind.  This is my recommendation for you - but the decision is yours.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Windows Defender does not start automatically now.

  Since last week, Windows Defender will automatically start.  He has always done in the past.  It shows to the extent permitted in the list in the Windows Explorer startup programs and also listed as automatic in the section of the computer management services.  I opened a few days ago to check the updates, and I got a little window that says "Windows Defender is disabled" and it had a link to activate it, I clicked, and it did turn on.  Because of this, whenever I turn on my laptop, I check Windows Defender and of course, she is still not and I have to turn it on manually.  I also have McAfee Security Suite, Spybot Search & Destroy and Microsoft Security Essentials, Ad Aware, Malware Bytes.  More McAfee is the only one that I pay.  But I had all these programs installed to the Windows Defender stopped automatically starting.  I don't have the error messages and have never know on this subject if I did not check for updates once.  I am running Vista Home Basic 32-bit with SP2.

  Alice L.

  See the excellent response of Mick [Hi Mick].

  In addition...

  In order to avoid conflicts and errors please do not run two antivirus programs (McAfee and Microsoft Security Essentials) and two antispyware programs at the same time.

  "McAfee 2009 for Windows Vista consumer products disable Microsoft Windows Defender to improve the performance of the system. Windows Vista users who have installed the McAfee 2009 consumer products should not activate Windows Defender... »

  Long story short, updated, Defender turns off, no restore options have worked.

• Operating system does not start

  My OS (XP) has recently frozen in a never-ending cycle of:

  • Re-boot,
  • With flashing white screen white upper-left
  • Option page prompting me to choose "safe mode, network security, normal, finally, etc..".
  • Re-start again.

  M BUT it never restarts.  How to do this?

  -Thank you, ssaucedo

  Provide information on your system, the better you can:

  What is your system brand and model?

  What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

  What is your Internet browser and version?

  Your system's disks IDE or SATA drives?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

  The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

  You have a genuine XP installation CD bootable, which is the same Service as your installed Service Pack (this is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

  What do you see (exactly) that you don't think you should see, and when you see it?

  What do not you think that you should see?

  If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

  If there is a problem starting, XP is configured to automatically try to start again and you can stuck in a loop not being able to go beyond the screen boot options, or none of these startup options you choose will work only.

  Sometimes, when XP has a problem starting or falls down and tries to start again, it will give you a "short" menu of boot options and none of them will appear to be good to get your system going again.  Something like this:

  Safe mode
  Safe mode with networking
  Safe mode with command prompt
  Last good Configuration known (your most recent settings that worked)
  Start Windows normally

  You have tried them all!

  The options are similar to the Advanced Boot Options menu XP, but the only option that you need (disable automatic error system reboot) are not offered, because XP went too far during the boot process and offers a limited number of boot options.

  If this is the case, you must manually call the Options menu advanced boot yourself until you do not see the option:

  Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

  When you get the XP Advanced Options correct start menu you want to see, he has options on it like these:

  Safe mode
  Safe mode with networking
  Safe mode with command prompt

  Enable Boot logging
  Enable VGA mode
  Last good Configuration known (your most recent settings that worked)
  Directory Services Restore Mode (Windows domain controllers only)
  Debug mode
  Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

  Start Windows normally
  Reset
  Return to OS Choices Menu

  You need to choose in this menu is the option:

  Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure
  
  Then if XP does not start normally, you will see an error screen with information and clues about the problem and then you can decide what to do next.

  If you do not see the automatic restart on system failure option turn it off, you must reset your system and start typing the key F8 on the keyboard until you see her disable automatic restart on system failure option.

  If you miss the window of opportunity F8, you must try again and start tapping the F8 key with more urgency (earlier and more frequently) until you see disable automatic restart on system failure, and then select.

  You must keep trying the F8 menu until you see disable automatic restart on system failure option, and select it.

  If your system has a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD), we need to know what the screen says:

  Here's a BSOD example showing information you provide:

  http://TechRepublic.com.com/i/tr/downloads/images/bsod_a.jpg

  Send for the nose and the Red arrows (3 to 4 lines total).

  Send all * line STOP message since there are clues in the 4 parameters.

  If it looks like there is some kind of name listed in the STOP message file, send this line also.

  Ignore the boring text unless it seems important to you.  We know what a BSOD looks like, we need to know what your BSOD looks like.

  Answering queries and results report of the disable automatic restart on system failure screen and you can decide what to do next.

• Error - NTLDR missing Windows XP Home computer does not start.

  Original title: XP-based computer does not start.

  XP Home does not start after I uninstalled a large file of Samsung mobile phone. I get a missing NTLDR error message and have had a System32 error as well, but there is no DOS prompt that would allow me to access anything whatsoever. Another problem is that I lost my installation CD. I initially bought this Dell PC nine over 6 years ago, so can provide identification details, if necessary program. Could someone tell me how I can make a recovery CD please? (No floppy drive not installed in the PC). To further complicate things (Yes, I know - I created many more problems that we all need), I have to keep my files on the hard disk, so cannot do a complete reformat, unless someone can tell how to save them somehow. My BACK skills could be summed up as "plodder inexperienced but determined!

  The file might be missing or it could just be that XP can't find it if your file system has somehow got corrupted.

  As the forums MS Answers does not prompt for any information system when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system.

  Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

  Provide information on your system, the better you can:

  What is your system brand and model?

  What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

  Your system have IDE or SATA disks?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

  The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

  System32 error, you see, is what exactly?

  Depends on a few factors, there could be another copy of the file NTLDR in other places on your system, but you have to start on something to find out whether there is or not.

  After answering the above questions, I begin to make a CD from Recovery Console bootable XP by running a chkdsk/r, first on your HARD drive and then see what is left to do.

  Here's how:

  If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and don't forget (no support for XP not necessary).

  This is not the same as recovery disks that may have come to a store to purchase the system.

  You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

  The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

  xp_rec_con. ISO

  Download the ISO from here:

  http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

  Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD (do not install UniBlue or the Ask Toolbar - never!):

  Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

  It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

  You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

  When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

  Press any key to boot from CD...

  Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

  Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

  Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

  You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

  You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

  C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

  The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

  For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

  A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

  In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

  Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

  Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

  CHKDSK C: /r

  Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

  It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

  You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

  Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

  You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.

• Windows XP does not start. Can I boot Windows from a disk so that I can recover the data?

  Windows XP does not start. Can I boot Windows from a disk so that I can recover the data? This should be a CD because it doesn't have a floppy disk on my laptop drive. It is maybe that my hard drive has begun to fail and therefore cannot locate XP startup files. I can not start using one of the other methods of starting for example. Safe mode. If I can recover the data, I can then reload Windows and check the surface of the disc etc etc. Thank you all for your comments. Steve

  Lately, I'm leaning toward the Hiren's BootCD you can download here:

  http://www.hirensbootcd.NET/

  On the left, click on download, scroll down, choose the most recent version

  The download link is a little hard to see.  It is at the bottom of the page, above the drop for older versions and looks like this (click this component to download the ZIP file):

  Direct HTTP mirror + Torrent, Torrent Magnet

  Click the "Live HTTP Mirror" link to start the download and save the ZIP file on your desktop of somewhere that you can remember.

  The ZIP file is large, so the download will take probably some time to complete.  Then unzip the download to extract theHirens.BootCD.ISO file that will be used to create your new bootable CD.

  Create a bootable CD. ISO file is not the same as simply copying the. File ISO onto a blank CD.  You must use software that includes how to burn a. ISO to a CD to create a bootable CD.

  File ZIP the Hiren is the file BurnToCD.cmd that you can double-click to launch it.  The BurnToCD.cmd will use the file BurnCDCC.exe to burn the. ISO file onto a blank CD using your existing CD burner.  You can also use your own burning software as long as your software is able to create a bootable CD. ISO file.  More modern burning programs can create a bootable CD. ISO image.  Create a CD from an ISO image bootable is not the same as just the file on a CD burning.

  If you need a simple and CD burning, this is a free software popular software:

  Using the Mini XP, you can access the Internet, maneuver around your system, copy files, replace the files, run the scans for malware, etc.  There are dozens of free and useful tools included in the CD that can be used to repair your system, or copy files to another device such as a USB device or an external drive if drop in trying to repair your system.

  If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.

  There is nothing to worry.

  Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.

  Right click and select Properties , ensure that Startup Type is automatic.
